Ten years ago, I watched a small group of "teens" walking along the street, with one of them doing the same thing, pointing a gun at passing cars. Might well have been a toy. The police were called but, to my knowledge, never came around. Try that today, and you'll get the standard MWAG cuff-and-stuff, or shot by someone saying "no" to the deadly assault. Rightly so.

Back in 2003, less than a mile from the Columbine incident and only a few years removed from it, I came up on a stop light and looked over to my right and noticed a guy in the back seat of a car holding a gun to the head of the driver with his other hand/arm wrapped around the drivers neck. When the light changed green I let them pull ahead first and got the license and called the cops. They took all my information and met me in a nearby parking lot to get more information. Later that night I was called back by the Sheriff's dept to let me know that it was just a couple kids fooling around and that they had gone to the home of licensed vehicle and found the kids and had a chat with their parents (real gun in this case). Seemed like something more in the way of a punishment was called for and not just a

If it looks real Im not waiting till either I have a plastic BB bounce off my chest or have a hole in my body that I wasnt born with to know if its real or not. Too many kids doing this have been shot and killed or just shot for stupid things like this.

What the **** is wrong with kids these days. If a gun is pointed at me, I am assuming the threat is real and will react accordingly. Why would someone think pointing a gun, toy or not at someone is a joke? I am at a loss for words.

When I carry a gun, I don't do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I'm looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don't carry it because I'm afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid.

A year or two ago an off duty Buffalo officer stopped into A gas station on his way home from work and a 15 year old kid tried to rob him with a BB gun. 8-10 shots later the kid was dead and the officer was put on leave.

I read something like this and I have to wonder; what do you suppose the last though through the kid's mind was?

In the unlikely event that I pulled a toy gun on someone I would hope I had the sense to drop it if they reached for a real one
